[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a physician who does shift work, so we had to hire our nanny with a Flex Time system. We guaranteed 48 hours a week (4 12 hour shifts weekly with 8 hours of OT) Our nanny knew she would work a total of 2 weekend “shifts” a month. She was also guaranteed Wednesdays off. I could request 8 days of a month (specific days not to work - not vacation), and she could give us 4-6 each month to request on her behalf. Finally, she’d get her schedule a month in advance, right when I got mine.

I love working shifts and having plenty of weekdays off. Worked well for our nanny as well.
It has the added benefit of being able to work in “mini vacations” without actually using vacation time. If she wanted she could condense shifts and get 6 days off in a row.  Or just use a few days of vacation and pretty much get two weeks off.[/quote]

This is a flex schedule with a month notice for shifts.  It's not as easy to find a nanny to work it, but it's not impossible due to many of the reasons you listed.  However, it's not the same as having last minute flex time every week.[/quote]
